Luis Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool and should never be allowed to play for them again, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said after the Uruguayan refused to shake Patrice Evra's hand on Saturday.

The Premier League game at Old Trafford, which the hosts won 2-1 to go top of the table, was the first time the two players had met since Suarez was banned for eight matches for racially abusing the United defender in October's reverse fixture at Anfield.

Suarez kept his eyes down when Evra offered his hand during the traditional pre-match handshakes and carried on walking when the Frenchman grabbed his arm to try again.

"He's a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club and certain players should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again," Ferguson told Sky Sports.

"The history that club's got and he does that - a situation like today could have caused a riot. It was terrible what he did."

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who earlier this week said he was sure Suarez would shake Evra's hand as both clubs sought to draw a line under the matter, said he had not seen the snub.

"Ask him and we'll take it from there," he told Sky.

"I think you are very severe, you are bang out of order to blame Luis Suarez for anything that happened here today," added Dalglish when asked if he would have to look at the issue as it had led to confrontations between players at halftime and fulltime on Saturday.

Ferguson, however, said the Uruguayan's behaviour had created tension.

"It was a terrible start to the game, a terrible atmosphere it created," he said.

"I just could not believe it because Patrice and I had a chat this morning and he said, 'I'm going to shake his hand, I've got nothing to be ashamed of. I want to keep my dignity,'."
